Flail,
if you spoof the MAC, there are several options:
- you ask IP through DHCP -> dhcp server could refuse giving another IP if
the MAC is still active. Depends on the implementation
- you set an IP -> if you choose the SAME ip, this will cause problems
-> if you choose another ip, you won't see any problems.
All packets for the authorized client, are going to be discarded by your
IP stack, and all your packets, by his IP stack.
hope this helps.

Hi,
Let's say you're wardriving, and you find an open network which has MAC address
filtering enabled. There is one active client on the network. You insert
BackTrack, start Kismet and find out the client's MAC address. Then, you change
your MAC address to mimic the client's, and connect to the network.
What happens? Do you kick the other client off, or do both clients conflict
with each other because their MAC addresses are the same? Or does something
else happen? I'm sorry I can't check this at the moment, but I do not have a
wireless network to test it on.
Thanks in advance,
Flail
